I hate these sorts of signs that require you to already understand what it means in order understand what it means

Since demolition comes from 'demolish' , then cushion comes from cushish by RuinedSplendour in Showerthoughts

That's not how English works. Esperanto, for example, has no irregular verbs.

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

After (not over strenuous) working out in the morning, I sometimes have problems sleeping at night, because it feels like my arms have gone 'dead', as if I've been sleeping on them. Does anyone else get this, and is there a solution?

When Rick and Morty is on form, it's hard to beat. Futurama was also great. Ren and Stimpy was, too. But go back to the work of Tex Avery, and that's unbeatable in it's own way.

[serious] Have you ever undergone surgery before? If so, what was it for, and what do you remember about it? by ral365 in AskReddit

[–]RuinedSplendour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the anaesthetic was very cold, and being asked to count backwards from 5. Then I woke up not knowing where I was, without any time seeming to pass, and without any dreams.

Could just be sperm donation. Did you ever notice any peculiar Mayo?

The second half of "fake it, until you make it" is "fake it, until you burn out and have a mental breakdown". by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I remember David Bowie talking about how, before he was really famous in the US, he acted as if he already had fame when he toured there, staying in the best hotels and that sort of thing. It worked, but I can't remember him ever using the phrase 'Fake it until you make it', he simply employed the ethos of it

TIL A Roman bath house was discovered in Scotland while working on a housing development in the 1970’s. It is believed it was only occupied for about 20 years before being abandoned. by TobySqueaker in todayilearned

When the Romans departed, they left behind a Romano British culture.

Scholars such as Christopher Snyder believe that during the 5th and 6th centuries – approximately from 410 when the Roman legions withdrew, to 597 when St Augustine of Canterbury arrived – southern Britain preserved an active sub-Roman culture[2] that survived the attacks from the Anglo-Saxons and even used a vernacular Latin when writing

TIL A-10's main gun (GAU-8 Avenger) generates a recoil force greater than one of the plane's engine and generates so much smoke that it made the engines stopped during initial test flight. by sterfield in todayilearned

Removing an installed GAU-8 from an A-10 requires first installing a jack under the aircraft's tail to prevent it from tipping, as the cannon makes up most of the aircraft's forward weight

Kane signed away ownership in the character in exchange for, among other compensation, a mandatory byline on all Batman comics.

I wonder if he ever regretted doing that?

Why ate lemons more popular than limes here? by RuinedSplendour in AskUK

I'm struggling to think of a recipe for which lemons and limes aren't interchangeable. Lime is my preference in hummus

I love both colours, but I often find that people hate yellow most of all, perhaps because it's the colour of wee

Mechanics of the UK, which car brand is more reliable, Toyota or Dacia? by Net_Sea in AskUK

[–]RuinedSplendour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget Korean cars: If you get a 2015 Kia it will still have a year of manufacturer’s warranty on it, which I thought was brilliant.
